Byron - The Puppet

I've been here for so long
Don't know where I'm going
Or where I came from
My mind is daily throwing
Memories apart
My words are slightly slowing
If you look at me you'll see that
Inside I'm glowing
I've been trying so damn hard
To be what you want me to be
I couldn't stand a chance
Life was draining out of me
I was vanishing
Into this greyish sea
Now I'm not moving a muscle, dear
But inside I'm free
I've had enough of these puppeteers
Building their bravery with our fears
I've been hanging around all these years
I think it's time to move along
Sitting all day long
I'm tired of waiting for
A miracle to come
Knocking on my door
I open up my eyes
Press my soles against the floor
I might seem a little rusty to you
But I'm going to war
I think I've lived this day before
Or maybe I just dreamed about
My rebellion was nothing more
Than a string I cannot move without
I've had enough of these puppeteers
Building their bravery with our fears
I've been hanging around all these years
I think it's time to move along
You better stop wasting my time
I won't engage in pantomime
I don't need to play a role
To fill your empty goddamn hole
